This event is for those wanting to push the stroller or just have some casual fun. There is no pressure in this event, just good ‘ol fashioned fun! Nonetheless, even this wave features Chronotrack chip timing.
For years, dogs have been welcome to take part in our recreational wave, and now our furry friends have a race all their own! Sign you and your pooch up for the Macklind Dog Mile and prove who has the fastest four legs in town!
Men who have run a 4:30 mile or faster and women who have run a 5:30 mile or faster within the last year will be eligible. To be considered, you must register for the competitive wave for your gender and then email info@macklindmile.com with your request for consideration. Elite awards will be separate and there will be a $250 bonus for a new course record. Men’s Course Record- 3:55.5, Matt Dorsey in 2017; Women’s Course Record- 4:38.2, Julia Kohnen in 2017.
The Kids’ quarter mile dash, a fan favorite, continues on! The race will begin near the intersection of Winona and Macklind. All finishers will receive a ribbon. We have youth shirt sizes to accommodate all of our younger participants. Note: All youth sizes, including 3T, will be cotton and not tech material. Kids 1/4 Mile will be split into 3 waves for the safety of the younger ones. Waves will be divided 1-3 year olds, 4-5 year olds, and 6-10 year olds; each wave will depart about 2 minutes after the prior one.
